Denmark’s Orsted has generated first power from the second and final phase of its giant 659MW Walney Extension wind farm, located in the Irish Sea off the coast of Cumbria, north west of England.
The Walney Extension project is being constructed in two phases using turbine technology from two different manufacturers – Siemens Gamesa and MHI Vestas.
The first three of 47 Siemens Gamesa 7MW turbines have now been installed in the second and final phase of construction.
